Motorsports: Humblet sweeps Modified twin 30-lappers at Langley

Afternoon time trials were washed out, and the lineup for the first race was set by the division standings, putting Robbie Babb on the pole.

Babb led the first 16 circuits before giving way to Humblet on lap 17.

By the end, Humblet had stretched his margin of victory to half a straightaway. Babb was the runner-up, followed by Matt Slye, Mike Rudy and Danny Harrell.

By virtue of his win, Humblet started the nightcap from the pole.

Babb started on the outside of the front row and bolted ahead of Humblet on the start.

With the black flag poised to wave, Babb backed off and ceded the top spot back to Humblet. Rudy tagged along with Humblet and took over second.

Humblet won by half a straightaway over Rudy. Babb was third, while Anthony Kincaid and Slye rounded out the top five.

With the pair of victories, his sixth and seventh of the season, Humblet shaved three points from Babb’s lead in the standings and now trails by just seven, 345-338. Both title contenders have seven wins.

Grand Stock:

Mark Claar took the lead on lap 35, then survived two late restarts to post his second straight win.

Ricky Derrick was second, four lengths behind, while Ritchie German, Andrew Condrey and Bobby Spivey rounded out the top five.

When the last of the race’s four caution flags flew on lap 39, the event was extended from 40 to 41 laps to accommodate a “green-white-checkered” finish.

Super Truck twin 20s:

Robbie Davis led all 40 circuits to sweep twin 20s, collecting his sixth and seventh wins of the year.

Bill Wallace was the runner-up in both events. He trailed Davis by two lengths at the end of the first race and by six lengths in the nightcap.
